Ingredients:

1 sweet potato

100 gm. lean chicken mince

1/4 cup baby spinach leaves

1/4 tsp. Cumin

1/4 tsp. Chilli powder

1 Tbsp. Chives, chopped

1 Tbsp. shredded mozzarella

1/2 Tbsp. olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180c and prepare your sweet potato by poking some holes in it using a fork. Place on a baking tray and bake for about an hour or until tender.

Once cooked, cut in half length ways and scoop out some of the insides and set aside in a bowl and mash with a fork.

Heat your oil in a frypan and add chicken mince and garlic, using a spoon to break it up and cook it through evenly.

Once it starts to change colour, add the spices and mashed sweet potato and continue to stir until cooked through.

Remove from heat and add mozzarella, stirring through then scoop mixture into the sweet potato skins.
